OK, so I'm going down in September, & my espanol is NOT the greatest. Is there somewhere on the board where I can find useful phrases to be used during negotiating/interviewing chicas? Like when she says "Cien", how do I say "No, I wanted the cost for an hour, not a week." ![]() Feel free to share whatever phrases you guys like to use... |

![]() Yo quiero saber el coste por una hora, no una semana. or shorten it a little: Cuanto por una hora, no una semana? (How much for an hour, not a week?) I'm sure there are various threads out there that contain some useful phrases. But I'm surprised nobody has put together a list of commonly used phrases and posted them as a sticky in the newbie section. I will try to put together something like that over the weekend. |

Get Pimsleur (PiMpsleur) now and you will have enough time to master Spanish 1 and 2. It will pay big dividends. |

The general phrases posted are all really good. I wish I could remember who posted what I consider to be the best response to the cien proposition: Lo siento mi amor, pero yo no gano cien por hora, por lo tanto no puedo pagarte cien por hora. I am sorry my love, but I do not earn $100 per hour, therefore I cannot pay you $100 per hour. |
